There isn't much we can do with NetworkManager for this: different
providers implement their plans differently. Here in Canada, many
providers will still let you stay connected (or successfully create a
new connection) even if your "plan" as run out, but you'll be charged
extra credit on a prepaid plan, or charged differently (and much much
more) on a monthly plan -- connectivity checking here would most likely
only incur additional costs.

I don't have anything better to offer right now than to keep thinking
about it, and that users unfortunately will need to keep track of data
usage on their own until there is such a facility to give data usage
stats on the device itself (which itself may be wrong, but better than
nothing).
